Thus, a user interface (operation screen) for the simple operation, which is different from that for a conventional operation, is included. There is a case in which a simple operation screen is displayed in an operational environment which is different from that of a conventional operation screen as in a case where the conventional operation screen is created by using the C/C++ language, and the simple operation screen is created by using the web-based HTML5.
- When setting of a complex job parameter is required, the setting is performed through a conventional operation which enables setting of all parameters. However, setting positioned intermediately between the simple operation and the conventional operation has no choice but to be performed through the conventional operation. Accordingly, switching from the simple operation screen to the conventional operation screen is required.
- However, when switching from the simple operation screen to the conventional operation screen is performed, parameters set through the simple operation so far are not taken over. When a screen is switched to the conventional operation screen, the same setting values previously set in the simple operation screen are to be input again.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example when a display apparatus according to the exemplary embodiment is applied to an image forming apparatus. Theimage forming apparatus 100 includes adisplay apparatus 120, a network I/F 105, apaper feeding unit 107, apaper discharging unit 108, and animage forming unit 109. The network I/F 105 corresponds to a unit configured to receive a print job from a client apparatus (computer) which performs a print request, and to control a response of an execution result of the job and notification of a status of theimage forming apparatus 100. The network I/F 105 includes a network interface card made in accordance with standards of wired communication or wireless communication. - The
paper feeding unit 107 includes a tray or a cassette for loading a sheet and includes a pickup roller for supplying a loaded sheet to theimage forming apparatus 100. Thepaper discharging unit 108 loads a sheet on which image formation is performed in a main body of theimage forming apparatus 100. Theimage forming unit 109 corresponds to a unit configured to form print data received from the client apparatus or an original sheet disposed on an auto-document feeder (ADF), on a sheet supplied from thepaper feeding unit 107 and to perform transportation to thepaper discharging unit 108. - The
display apparatus 120 includes aprocessor 101, a random access memory (RAM) 102, a read only memory (ROM) 103, a hard disk drive (HDD) 104, and atouch panel display 106 and includes abus 110 for performing an input and output between units in theimage forming apparatus 100. Theprocessor 101 corresponds to a computation device such as a central processing unit (CPU) and corresponds to the control unit in the exemplary embodiment. Theprocessor 101 develops and executes a program stored in theROM 103 or a program stored in the HDD 104, in theRAM 102, and thus provides various functions while cooperation with each of hardware is performed. TheRAM 102 corresponds to a main storage device and theROM 103 corresponds to a non-volatile device storing a system program and the like. Thetouch panel display 106 includes a flat liquid crystal screen (display unit) and a touch panel (input unit). Thetouch panel display 106 has a structure in which the touch panel is stacked on the liquid crystal screen and corresponds to a unit configured to enable an input by directly pressing the screen with a fingertip, a pen point, or the like. - The
HDD 104 corresponds to a non-volatile auxiliary storage device storing data or a program. In the exemplary embodiment, a first environment of receiving display control or an input operation on the conventional operation screen is referred to as aprevious environment 130, and a second environment of receiving display control or an input operation on the simple operation screen is referred to as anew environment 140. Hereinafter, a different level between theprevious environment 130 and thenew environment 140 will be described, but the different level is only an example. - An operating system (OS) level is different between the
previous environment 130 and thenew environment 140. In this case, theprocessor 101 is configured by a plurality of cores and causes each OS to be executed in an individual core. - The
previous environment 130 is set to be a past environment of executing a program itself compiled in C/C++ and anothernew environment 140 is set to be an environment of executing the program on a virtual machine or an inter-printer. - The
previous environment 130 is set to be a past environment of executing a program itself compiled in C/C++ and anothernew environment 140 is set to be an environment of receiving screen control or a screen operation based on a web (HTML5 language). - In this manner, the
previous environment 130 and thenew environment 140 have structures in which operation methods are different from each other when a module is performed. Further, combination may be differently performed, for example, theprevious environment 130 is set to be a web-based environment and thenew environment 140 is set to be a virtual environment, and the like. - The HDD 104 stores a
previous program 152 operated in theprevious environment 130 and data 151, and stores anew program 162 operated in thenew environment 140 anddata 161. The data 151 anddata 161 correspond to data for defining a layout of a display screen, icon image data, and the like. - Terms indicating previousness and newness of "new environment", "new", "previous environment", "previous" are appropriately provided.
- The
HDD 104 has a sharedarea 171. The sharedarea 171 is constructed to have a file system which enables reading and writing from the two environments of theprevious environment 130 and thenew environment 140, and is mounted. That is, in exemplary embodiment, data can be transferred between the two different environments of theprevious environment 130 and thenew environment 140 through the sharedarea 171. -
FIG. 2 illustrates an example of a menu screen (referred to as a HOME screen) which is displayed in thetouch panel display 106 and is on standby. Theimage forming apparatus 100 has a copying function, a scanning function, a FAX transmitting function, a printing function, and a filing function (e-filing). The copying function, the scanning function, the FAX transmitting function, and the printing function are basic functions that also are performed in the conventional image forming apparatus. The filing function is provided as a function to store individual data in a folder unique to a user. - When a job of using these functions is inserted, or after the job is inserted, a user needs to input a setting value and the
touch panel display 106 can display a simple operation screen and a conventional operation screen for inputting a setting value, for each function. The conventional operation screen is an operation screen that is previously displayed in theimage forming apparatus 100 and can cause detailed setting to be performed. The simple operation screen is a screen obtained by extracting only a frequently used setting operation from items enabling setting on the conventional operation screen and displaying the extracted setting operation. - A
Simple Copy button 501, aSimple Scan button 502, aSimple FAX button 503, aCopy Mode button 504, aScan Mode button 505, aFAX Mode button 506, aPrint Mode button 507, and ane-FILNG button 508 are disposed on the HOME screen. The screen is scrolled right and left and a button which is not displayed in arrangement is displayed by operating thescroll button 509. A user presses a button indicating, for example, "Simple" such asSimple Copy button 501 and thus thetouch panel display 106 displays the simple operation screen. The user presses a button indicating, for example, "Mode" such asCopy Mode button 504 and thus thetouch panel display 106 displays the conventional operation screen. In the following descriptions, the copying function will be described, but the scanning function, the FAX transmitting function, and the printing function other than the copying function also have the simple operation screen and the conventional operation screen, similarly. -
FIG. 3 illustrates an example of the simple operation screen when theSimple Copy button 501 is pressed. If theSimple Copy button 501 is pressed, theprocessor 101 executes, for example, a virtual machine or an analysis program of the HTML language, constructs thenew environment 140 in order to execute thenew program 162, and then thenew program 162 is processed and executed. Theprocessor 101 executes thenew program 162 and thus controls thetouch panel display 106 to display the operation screen inFIG. 3 . - The Simple Copy screen illustrated in
FIG. 3 hasareas 601 to 605 for inputting a setting value. Thearea 601 is an area for setting the number of copies by pressing "+" button or "-" button or receiving an input from a ten-key pad (not illustrated) . Thearea 602 is an area for setting whether an image is formed in monochrome, whether an image is formed in color, or whether a color is automatically recognized. Thearea 603 is an area for setting whether the size of a sheet is automatically set or is arbitrarily designated after copying. Thearea 604 is an area for setting an expansion and reduction ratio. Thearea 605 is an area for setting how much pages are allocated to one sheet. In theareas 602 to 605, anarrow 620 in each area is pressed, and thus settable values are displayed in a pull-down manner or a dialogue manner. The user sets a desired value by using the pull-down display or the dialogue screen. - Each setting is performed, and then if a
START button 651 is pressed, theprocessor 101 controls theimage forming unit 109 to perform a copying operation in accordance with the setting value. - Here, if the
HOME button 610 is pressed, theprocessor 101 controls display so as to return to the HOME screen illustrated inFIG. 2 and if aReset button 612 is pressed, theprocessor 101 resets the input setting value and controls the setting value to have a default value. - A setting item which is statistically higher ranked among settable items is disposed on the simple operation screen, and a setting item is disposed such that as the setting item becomes a higher rank, the setting item has a larger display area. In this example, since setting the number of copies is statistically the highest in general use, the
area 601 for setting the number of copies is the largest area. - The user presses a
Detail button 611 when setting which cannot be performed in the Simple Copy screen illustrated inFIG. 3 , such as setting of image quality and setting of a print concentration is intended to be performed. Theprocessor 101 sets theprevious environment 130 for executing theprevious program 162, and processes and executes theprevious program 152 by pressing theDetail button 611. Theprocessor 101 controls thetouch panel display 106 to display an operation screen illustrated inFIG. 4 by executing theprevious program 152. The operation screen illustrated inFIG. 4 is the conventional operation screen and a screen for performing detailed setting which cannot be performed in the simple operation screen. A user that is used to use the conventional screen can directly proceed to display the conventional operation screen by pressing theCopy Mode button 504 of the HOME screen illustrated inFIG. 2 . - The screen in
FIG. 4 will be described. Anarea 701 is an area for setting whether the size of a sheet is automatically set or is arbitrarily designated after copying and in thearea 701, a location of the selected size of a sheet is reversely displayed. Anarea 702 is an area for setting an expansion and reduction ratio. Anarea 703 is an area for setting whether or not a stapling process or a punch hole punching process (so-called post-process) is performed. Anarea 704 is an area for setting allocation and anarea 705 is an area for setting image quality (image quality for a character or image quality for a picture) . Anarea 706 is an area for setting the number of copiers and anarea 707 is an area for setting a color or a monochrome or for setting whether a color is automatically recognized. Anarea 708 is an area for setting the concentration of a copier. Items which can be set in theareas - As illustrated in
FIG. 4 , theimage forming apparatus 100 takes over the setting value of the size of a sheet, the expansion and reduction ratio, allocation setting, and a color mode, that is, the setting value set on the simple setting screen ofFIG. 3 , to the conventional operation screen. Thenew program 162 executed based on thenew environment 140 writes the input setting value in the sharedarea 171 if theDetail button 611 is pressed. Theprevious program 152 reads the setting value written in the sharedarea 171 when an operation is started and the read setting value is applied to theprevious program 152 and thus theprevious program 152 is executed. Accordingly, the setting value is taken over between the programs. A data structure (whether data is created as binary data or text data, or a display format of the data) when the setting value is taken over is defined at a program creation stage so as to be suitable for the program. - If setting in the conventional operation screen of
FIG. 4 is completed and astart button 709 is pressed, theimage forming unit 109 performs a copying process. - Transition from the conventional operation screen in
FIG. 4 to the simple setting screen inFIG. 3 is not performed in the exemplary embodiment. However, this screen transition may be allowable. In this case, an item which is allowed to be set in at least the simple setting screen is taken over through the sharedarea 171. -
FIG. 5 is a flowchart when the above-described operations of theimage forming apparatus 100 are performed. Each operation inFIG. 5 is realized by theprocessor 101 processing and executing a program (previous program 152,new program 162, and the like) and cooperating with each of hardware. In this example, a case where a button other than theSimple Copy button 501 is pressed on the HOME screen will not be described, but the operations are similarly performed. - The
processor 101 controls thetouch panel display 106 to display the HOME screen which is a standby screen (ACT001) . Display control of the HOME screen is set to be performed in thenew environment 140, but may be performed in theprevious environment 130. - The
processor 101 waits until theSimple Copy button 501 is pressed (loop of No in ACT002). - If the
Simple Copy button 501 is pressed (Yes in ACT002), theprocessor 101 controls thetouch panel display 106 to display the simple operation screen (Simple Copy screen) relating to copying (ACT003) . At this time, theprocessor 101 starts thenew program 162 based on thenew environment 140 and displays the Simple Copy screen. - When the
touch panel display 106 receives a setting value, theprocessor 101 stores details of setting change in thenew environment 140 in accordance with an input from the touch panel display 106 (ACT004). Hardware corresponding to a storage destination may be theRAM 102 or theHDD 104. Theprocessor 101 determines whether theDetail button 611 is pressed (ACT005), and determines whether theSTART button 651 is pressed when theDetail button 611 is not pressed (ACT006). When theSTART button 651 is not pressed (No in ACT006), theprocessor 101 controls to return to the operation of ACT004. That is, theprocessor 101 repeats ACT004 until theDetail button 611 is pressed or until theSTART button 651 is pressed. - If the
START button 651 is pressed (Yes in ACT006), theprocessor 101 controls theimage forming unit 109 and the like to perform copying such that processing is performed with details which are set so far (ACT012). If theDetail button 611 is pressed (Yes in ACT005), theprocessor 101 temporarily stores the setting value in the sharedarea 171 of theHDD 104 in accordance with processing codes of the new program 162 (ACT007). Theprocessor 101 starts theprevious program 152 based on theprevious environment 130 and takes the setting value which is stored in the sharedarea 171 in the previous environment 130 (ACT008). Theprocessor 101 displays the conventional operation screen in accordance with processing codes of the previous program 152 (ACT009) . At this time, theprocessor 101 applies the taken setting value to each item on the screen. - Then, when setting is changed based on the
previous environment 130, theprocessor 101 stores the details (ACT010) . ACT010 is repeated until thestart button 709 is pressed (loop of No in ACT011). If thestart button 709 is pressed (Yes in ACT011), theprocessor 101 controls theimage forming unit 109 to perform copying in accordance with a final value set in both of the conventional environment and the new environment (ACT012) . - In the above-described exemplary embodiment, an example is described in which a function selection button of the simple operation (simple copying, simple scanning, simple Fax transmitting) to which frequently used setting can be applied is provided in addition to a function selection button of the conventional operation (copying, scanning, Fax transmitting, and the like). Provision of a button (Detail button) for moving to the conventional operation on the simple operation screen is also described.
- An example is described in which the display apparatus according to the exemplary embodiment performs transition to the conventional operation screen when the Detail button is pressed and all of job parameters which are set so far in the simple operation are taken over. It is possible to respond to a request of adding a little setting to the simple operation and executing a job by this screen switching or parameter taking over.
- In the above descriptions, a case where the display apparatus according to the exemplary embodiment is applied to the image forming apparatus is described. However, such a function of the display apparatus may be applied to other apparatuses.
FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example when the above-described display apparatus is applied to a client apparatus which is a computer. The client apparatus is a computer that requires the image forming apparatus to print an edited image or document, read data, and the like. - The

Thedisplay apparatus 220 includes aprocessor 201, a random access memory (RAM) 202, a read only memory (ROM) 203, a hard disk drive (HDD) 204, adisplay device 206 such as a monitor, aninput device 207 such as a keyboard and a mouse and includes abus 210 for performing an input and output between units in theclient apparatus 200. Thedisplay apparatus 220 may include a touch panel display instead of thedisplay device 206 and theinput device 207 or include a touch panel display along with thedisplay device 206 and theinput device 207. - The
processor 201, theRAM 202, and theROM 203 have an equivalent function to each unit described in theimage forming apparatus 100. - The
HDD 204 is a non-volatile auxiliary storage device that stores data or a program. TheHDD 204 stores aprevious environment 230 and anew environment 240 and stores aprevious program 252 which is operated in theprevious environment 230 anddata 251, and anew program 262 which is operated in thenew environment 240 anddata 261, similarly to theimage forming apparatus 100. With the configuration of thedisplay apparatus 220 illustrated inFIG. 6 , the above-described setting operations can be performed before a job is inserted into the image forming apparatus. - In the example, a non-volatile storage device is used as a data transfer medium and a setting value is taken over. However, a shared memory may be used by using communication between processors and a setting value may be taken over.
- In the example, an example is described in which data is taken over between the two environments, the two programs, and the two setting screens. However, it is not limited thereto, data may be taken over between three environments or more, three programs or more, and three setting screens or more.
- In each exemplary embodiment, a case where a function of implementing an aspect in the apparatus is stored in advance is described. However, it is not limited thereto, the similar function may be downloaded from a network to the apparatus or the similar function which is stored in a recording medium may be installed. The recording medium may have any form as long as the recording medium causes a program to be stored in a CD-ROM and the like and allows the apparatus to read the stored program. The function obtained by performing installing or downloading in advance in this manner may cooperate with an operating system (OS) and the like in the apparatus and be realized.
- According to the exemplary embodiment, it is possible to transfer an operation setting value of an image forming apparatus between modules having different operational environments from each other or between setting screens and to suppress re-input of data. The object of the present invention is achieved with the features of the claims.
